    Dear list members,

    we are pleased to announce the public release of version 1.0 of our
    Selectional Preference Database for WordNet 1.6 Synsets. This resource
    provides synset-to-synset weights for subject-verb and verb-object
    relations. The source data to build this resource was the Semcor corpus,
    and the WordNet hierarchy was employed to propagate the scores ([1],[2]).

    This resource was first presented in CoNLL-2001 [1], and extended in [2].
    It has been applied to WSD in both papers, and in [3] a study was
    conducted to test their application to another language (Basque).

    The Selectional Preferences can be downloaded from the following url:

    Comments and feedback are most welcome.

    Best,

    Eneko Agirre
